Windows Live Space Stats Are Wrong

Good Morning. I added a counter to my blog and since it is Sunday and a low traffic day it was a good test to compare the stats that were being generated. I am using the counter from http://www.statcounter.com. Needless to say I was annoyed. Live Space stats seem to miss page views on a regular basis. Now I am left with wondering if I should rely on the Live Space page view number or the statcounter.com number. The only reason I debate that in my mind is that I have been using the Live Space page view number to base my counter on this whole time. I wonder if I should file this as a support issue and if I do who do I go to? Windows Live Help email form has not been very helpful. They usually copy and paste stuff from their FAQ’s which I already know and usually have nothing to do with what I am asking about.

First these are the stats that were generated so far today by Windows Live. The stats are shown as date and time, page seen and referred from. Below that are the stats provided by statcounter.com. Windows Live clearly missed the hits that occurred from 4:30AM on among others.
